Default Fix a bent rim????????

I bent my rim last night on a big ass pot hole doing like 70 mph The tire bead popped off and the inner part of the rim has a decent size bend in it Is this something that is fixable? I have Prodrive forged rims.

Good idea,but that probably takes too long and sounds like a pain. I just hope they can fix forged rims.

Who did? Glens? If so, do you have their phone #? How bad was your bend?
